An obligation to local fans?? You have to be joking if you think that Cricket Australia cares about the fans!

They will still charge full price for tickets (which are about 50% too expensive however you look at them) regardless of who is playing.

Also when a game is finished early, there never seems to be any compensation to fans either, in the form of a partial refund, or even a demonstration 20/20 or the like.

Money grubbing bastards.

GO ANYONE BUT AUSTRALIA!!

Andy - it's not a question of 'what else is there to watch'. It's a question of making sure that the Australian players have acclimatised to Indian conditions well before the 1st test. My point is that the end of this ODI series is too close to the start of the Indian tour and hence why a load of players have already gone to India.

God help the Australian team if Clarke et al had played the 5th ODI against WI, then lost the 1st Test in India, and then blamed the fact that they had little time to prepare.
